So installed Lion successfully! Yay! But...Installed using MaLd0n's USB method with Chameleon 2.0 RC5 but the boot is not working because I have a software Concatenated Disk Set that I configured in Disk Utility before I installed. I'm booting from the USB stick still and can't figure about how to boot from the hard drive(s)! Help anyone?

This is what you're looking for: http://aquamac.proboards.com/index.cgi?boa...=613&page=1

 

Essentially, software RAID arrays in OS X have a hidden boot partition on each drive. Chameleon must be installed to these boot partitions (well really only one of them, but it's convenient to have it on all three) along with the OS X kernel. Then you have to tell Chameleon the ID of the array to boot from. All the details are in the guide I linked to above.

 

Just remember, any time you do an update, you'll need to manually update the kernel stored on those boot partitions.

Chameleon can have problems booting from a RAID in 10.7, see the following for a discussion;
